The use of mentoring for knowledge translation by allied health: a scoping review

Allied health professionals have used mentoring as a knowledge translation strategy to enhance the use of research evidence in their practice and to learn the process of knowledge translation. Mentoring is mostly used in conjunction with other strategies in practice, such as education. The limited number of identified barriers and facilitators to using mentoring as a knowledge translation strategy supports the need for future research to deepen our understanding about the mentoring process.
